Are we going to apply this to sex offenders and child molesters, letting them live anywhere they want without registering? Because that will be an issue down the line with this way of thinking.

I don't necessarily disagree with the felon firearm law being struck down, especially if you consider that we are seemingly incapable or unwilling to enforce anything to do with it. This will set a precedent, though, and we will have to deal with that down the line.

The constitution doesn’t cover child molestation charges. So having a law determining where someone can live is fine with me. Along with continuing to make these people register as sex offenders.

But they shouldn’t be stripped of anything that the constitution offers if they’re free from prison.

I will never understand the rationale behind thinking that it's the right thing to do but let's not do it because it sets a precedent. That's just backwards logic.
